Now, what would we send Detroit in return for Chauncey? Ricky Davis would have to be included. He’s got a medium-sized expiring deal that would be a nice finacial help to the Pistons. At a minimum, we might be able to get by with just including Rashad McCants or Craig Smith. My guess is that whoever we select at #7 will be the ultimate price we’d have to pay. Then we’d need a contract to make salaries match, which would have to be Trenton Hassell, Marko Jaric, Mike James, or Troy Hudson. My guess would be that either Hassell or James would be included.

I hope people look at this before they write up the next Delfino, Murray, Sheed for Amare trade.

This is not a team looking to take on a bunch of %%%% just to ease their cap. No one is remotely worth CB. As for the high draft pick, we're not in a position as a team to take advantage of even a conley.

I agree. For Wolves it would be great. But why would Pistons want to go through with that scenario?

and Jaric + Flip could come off the pine allowing Flip to guard the opponents PG and be a shooting guard.

Sorry, but this would mean throwing in the towel on this team. We all like Mike James, but he by no means is CB. He doesn't have nearly the impact on the game that Chauncey has. In the long run we might be better off with smaller contracts and a potential starter in the draft, but short term you could write Pistons off from the list of the contenders.

It's going to take a near perfect storm for us to remain legitimate title contenders no matter what.

Jaric, James, and Noah/etc (especially an explosive rookie) could make a huge difference.

I'm not sure if I'd pull the trigger on that, but I'd think about it. I really like Foye, and that #7 would be nice. It would still be a step backwards next year, but maybe a good move for the future. Conley, Foye, and Rip would be a solid three man rotation. James would be make that deal more attractive.
